Hey all,
I'd like to know what you guys think about my first attempt at building a website and what I can do to make it better. I'm kinda bitter with the web hosting company as they don't accept Frontpage Extensions thus not allowing to have a search page or feedback section, any suggestions on how to get around this?
Thanks

PS This was done using Frontpage, do you think GoLive or Dreamweaver are better programs for a web developing noob? If so what do they offer that Frontpage doesn't?
The site I built for this politician is www.ericmackenzie.ca

Oh by the way I think the hit counter is a problem due to no Extensions

Font/Buttons are too big. It pushes the browser window out, and people like it better when they don't have to scroll sideways.

Not a bad start  Very clean and straightforward. I would suggest putting the menu buttons in a column to the left so as not to inconvenience people who use lower resolutions on their computers.
Frontpage is great to a limit... You might be able to try out Dreamweaver since it's a better program (I rarely use Frontpage now, and if I do, it's only to create quick tables). Dreamweaver is easy to learn, too, but the learning curve is a little steeper than Frontpage. Dreamweaver has more design options than Frontpage, and works more easily with scripting (and Flash animation, if you move on to that type of web development).
A suggestion on getting around the Frontpage extensions would be, naturally, to either learn some CGI/Perl, or go to a script repository like http://cgi.resourceindex.com or http://www.hotscripts.com and download a free counter, search script or feedback form.
Good luck on the page!

Thanks, I'll keep that stuff in mind.
As for scrolling sideways, I never noticed a problem as I'm running UXGA, I'll fix that up.
